More About "The Recycling Man":
In a poor and overpopulated, yet lonely suburban neighborhood, Jacob, a boy immobilized in a wheelchair, fights boredom by spying on his neighbors across the courtyard, while his mother, Valery, aggressively tries to convince Maria, her pregnant best friend, to have an abortion. Sarah, a girl of Jacob's age, spots the spying boy out and says hello with a piece of paper. The new friendship is, however, suddenly interrupted when a menacing garbage man approaches Sarah and attacks her from behind with a screwdriver. Jacob, even though he is stuck in his chair, will try everything to alert his mother. Valery, through Jacob's binoculars, sees the garbage man killing the little girl, but she tells Jacob that nothing important is happening. It really seems as if Valery doesn't really care about it and she's far more interested in Maria, and her baby's fate. Why does she care so much about whether her friend will abort the pregnancy or not? And has Jacob really witnessed murder with his binoculars, or is he just incapable of seeing the whole picture?
